Are all those 0000000000's and 1111111111's really necessary when subnetting? Does
anyone use this in real life networking? I don't think so! Seems a waste of time when there
are way more serious issues that need more time with then this. And it only makes it more
confusing - much easier to use wwww.xxxx.yyyy.zzzz or prefix \24
Thanks Cisco :-(

Robert:
Robert,

are you referring to subnetting? If so, for entry level people it's quite difficult to do complex
subnetting without writing down everything in binary format.

Regards,
Cristian.

Robert,
binary is used in real life subnetting.
All the 1s and 0s are used for calculating wilcards, masks, access lists...
If you find the concept of binary dificult, have a look at IPv6
in oder to become familiar and confortable with subnetting, have a look a the cisco games,
both the subnetting game as well as the binary game. they are very usefull.
